Tasting notes
Displaying a hint more of a medium golden yellow color, the 2022 Chardonnay Olivet Lane Vineyard is all Wente clone and reveals notes of poached golden apple, preserve lemon, yellow flowers, and delicate baking spice. The palate offers a rich, pithy texture, full body, and a rather long finish, with lasting notes of toasty incense. It’s going to age well over the next 10 years. These are the spring releases from Williams-Selyem and were tasted with Vice President and Director of Winemaking Jeff Mangahas at the estate in the Russian River Valley.
